The British Aikido Board Controversy

The British Aikido Controversy is an incredible factual documented

story of intrigue and fraudulent claims to mislead the BAB membership and the public. The BAB went to extraordinary lengths to change the known and accepted history of British Aikido.

Henry Ellis and Derek Eastman who are both survivors of the pioneering group from the 1950s with Kenshiro Abbe Sensei and Ken Williams Sensei from the once famed " Hut Dojo".

Ellis and Eastman also went to extraordinary lengths to protect our proud history for students of today and long in to the future.
